Some interesting things

Back to normal schedule and as this now combines posts, here's some interesting things I've seen recently.

Firstly a good article about deception in media. I'm looking forward to RUSE as a game too, as it's slow building and sneaky based.

The tube one is awesome, but the police car is creative genius.

The second thing, which I learnt yesterday, was that during World War 2, Japanese troops were so short on supplies that they resorted to cannibalism!

At first it was the internal organs of allied soldiers (yuck, why eat a liver when you can have steak) but as supplies of that dwindled in some places it became drawing lots to see who would be shot and eaten.

Japan obviously has played this down, but it came to light from soldiers diaries at the time, which highlighted how bad the situation was. Yummy.
